Scars--What do yours look like?
My scars are very little, except for where the tube was. That spot is red and larger with like a permanent bruise around it. It doesn't matter. No one is going to be seeing my stomach in daylight till after a surgeon makes it beautiful. My stomach will never be the same after having twins.

Mine are not obvious. The surgeon did an excellent job especially since Black people are prone to keloids.
Each scar is either a like a pencil drawn thin line, or an old scrape thats nearly faded, except for one. That other one is like a magic marker line and a little darker. They all blend into my pregnancy stretch marks so you don't immediatly see my tell tale wls tummy.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Mine are still red/reddish brown. There were glued and looked great until the stitches from the under layers poked thru. Now each thin line has a round spot were each stitch was. I saw a show were you shouldn't expose scars to the sun as they will turn darker than other skin. So mine will stay covered. At least this year.

i had openRNY and have pics on my profile of my scar... its not pretty... but i would do it all over again just the same... mine changes color depending on weather if u can believe that.. its anywhere from brownish,purpleish.. to redish... i'd rather have this scar then the extra 100+lbs an diabetes i was dealing with last summer....
